[[folder:Nightmares from the Deep: Davy Jones]]
* DavyJones: Davy Jones lived a happy but poor fisherman's life with his daughter until he demanded better for them and was [[BornLucky gifted with luck]]. He worked himself up to merchant, but was dishonest and compensated his long absences from home with gifts that his daughter grew to resent. A gang of pirates attacked the Jones' home when they got the short end in a deal and killed her. Davy Jones wished to live long enough to resurrect his daughter, which was fulfilled by [[BlessedWithSuck him getting immense demonic powers, including immortality, but nothing useful for reviving]]. More or less as he operated as a merchant, as a pirate he arm-twisted his prisoners into enlisting their souls until his daughter lived again. At first he was optimistic, but after the first and best shot at reviving the girl failed, he stopped hoping. After some centuries, the curator Sara Black found the missing ingredient, brought the daughter back to life, and put Davy and his crew to rest.
